Sadiqabad to Kharian Bus Ticket Price, Online Booking, Service Timing
Kharian is a cantonment town on the GT Road between Gujrat and Jhelum, home to many families with members serving in the army or working abroad. Waraich Express runs direct from Sadiqabad in about nine and a half hours, and the Awam Express links the two by rail.
Short answer: Sadiqabad to Kharian costs about Rs 3,800 on Waraich Express’s direct coach and takes about nine and a half hours. The last stretch from Lahore follows the GT Road through Gujranwala and Gujrat. Via Lahore is the fallback, and the Awam Express stops at Kharian Cantt.

GT Road, not motorway
The M-12 from Sialkot to Kharian is still being built, so coaches north of Lahore use the old GT Road. That stretch is slower than the motorway and explains most of the extra time compared with Lahore.
Waraich’s direct coach avoids changing in Lahore, which is worth a lot with luggage.
